I'm a brand name snob. Not when it comes to groceries - I will buy knock offs like Oatty Os and Crispy Rice like nobody's business. But, when new kitchen gadgets are involved, I feel the need to only collect the big names on the playground. For instance: Kitchenaid mixers, Silpat mats, and Le Creuset cast iron are all must haves. There's only one problem.

I can't afford my snobbery. I have a Black and Decker hand mixer and a no-name silicone mat. I don't even own a cast iron pan. Shame on me.

Luckily, a magically fairy (named CSN Stores) came a-knocking on my door. They offered me a gift certificate so I could review something bright, shiny and new for you all. Of course, I had to go with a big name. And, of course, I had to go with bakeware.

Norticware is one of those brand names that I dream having in my kitchen. Now, thanks to CSN, I'm going to have one delivered to my door. I chose one of their amazing bundt pans - mostly because I don't have one in our test kitchen yet. Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever baked a bundt before. Horrifying, I know.

This is where the giveaway part comes in. When my new Norticware pan gets here from CSN, I'm going to need a really kick-ass recipe to try out for my official review. I need you - my baked-goods-worshiping friends - to provide me with such a recipe. And, for your yumminess, you will be rewarded with your very own bundt pan from CSN Stores. Pretty sweet deal, eh? Here's the deets for y'all:

Congrats on scoring a CSN Stores item. I'm sure you'll love your fancy pan. My favorite bundt cake recipe is one I sort of came up with myself, mostly by cobbling together various recipes after being inspired by a Philadelphia bakery's insanely indulgent peanut butter bomb. It's a rich chocolate bundt cake layered with peanut butter mousse and topped with a chocolate glaze. I've only made it twice for special occasions but I keep wishing I had more excuses to bust out this recipe:http://thepioneerwoman.com/tasty-kitchen/recipes/desserts/peanut-butter-bomb-bundt-cake/

Smile. I'm a snob too when it comes to cooking/baking supplies. And I love me some bundt cake! Here is the most AMAZING cake. I bake a lot, and this is my family's absolute favorite. Choose me! Choose me! http://anecdotesandapples.weebly.com/1/post/2010/12/walnut-pear-spice-cake.html
